The Training and Placement cell has been active not only in arranging on campus as well as off-campus recruitment drives, but also offering awareness and training for the students. Course work:

• Members of faculty handling different courses interact with students in clearing all their Concept-oriented and test based mechanics of the respective courses.

• Students are always motivated to participate in different curricular activities. And for this purpose, Student’s development fund is being utilized for providing finance to those students who have also participated in various seminars, conferences, workshops under student development scheme.

• Scholarship and Merit awards are also distributed in the Annual function. Lab. specific:

Each of the lab sessions are handled by concerned teacher in order to have special care for the students while experiments are being handled. A demonstrative presentation is given by the teacher before every experiment. The Laboratory records are evaluated after the experiment is held. There is active involvement of the members of faculty from beginning till end of the experiment. Total Development:

As stated above, the college puts forward efforts to realize total development of the student. In addition to academics, literary, cultural and sports activities are conducted which offer leadership qualities, decision making abilities, team spirit, precision, analytical capabilities, socio-psychological awareness etc. which make an individual an intellectually mature being. Number of students per mentor: Appx.20 Frequency of meeting: Monthly Efficiency of the System:

• The mentoring system developed by the college has been proved to be effective considering different parameters.

• The involvement of students in the academics has been increased, like class work attendance, paper presentations, presentation of models in exhibitions, participation in cultural activities etc.

• Because the number of students allocated to each of the mentor is limited to 20, personal interaction on regular basis has been taken up.

• Teachers are also becoming more responsive to the learner needs day by day which is being reflected in the records maintained by the teacher.


The feedback collection process: • The institute believes in two-way interactions and 360 degree feedback phenomenon and

hence has developed the method to obtain the feedback from students, alumni, parents and academic peers. These forms are scrutinized and the data obtained is utilized for the quality enhancement and improvement in various aspects like infrastructural facilities, curriculum etc. This overall helps in making the Institute a Centre for Excellence.

• The courses in which student assessment of teachers is introduced are B. Pharm and M. Pharm (Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical technology, Quality assurance, Pharmaceutical Quality assurance and Industrial Pharmacy). The online feedback forms were filled by B. Pharm and M. Pharm students for overall evaluation of the teaching provided by the teachers.

• The students have also provided their online feedback on curriculum aspects, teaching-learning process, support services and other facilities offered by the institution during their course of study and the problem associated with above concerned were resolved through monthly class counseling meeting, and open session.

• The suggestions given by the students during the monthly meetings on regular basis were solved immediately by the counselor in consultation with the academic head and the principal if needed. Student’s counselors had submitted the feedback/minutes of the meeting to the Academic head. The feedbacks were filled by the students in the computer laboratory through online mechanism for overall evaluation of the teaching provided by the teachers.

• Parent’s feedback forms were given to the students and were asked to get them filled by the parents and submit at admin office. All the feedback forms were analyzed and reports were prepared.

• Percentage of students participating: 95-98% Analysis process: Academics and other college and students related matters are resolved in consultation with the Principal. The analysis of the feedback of faculty given by the students was informed to individual faculty for self-evaluation and improvement. The identity of the students is not revealed. The general instructions regarding teaching methodology was discussed during department meeting by the respective H.O.D.

• Basis of reward / corrective measures, if any: We are taking the corrective measures on the basis of following feedback forms filled

by students, parents as well as alumni members. 2. Active participation in academic, research and extension and other activities:
